Bobby Goldberg was born to travel, learn from different cultures, and help the young enterprising spirits of the world. Born and raised in the melting pot of New Jersey, he stayed East, graduating college in New England. From there, he decided to go further East, teaching in academies in South Korea. There he met his wife, and helped create two beautiful, feral children. Soon after, they decided to move (you guessed it!) East to find Home in the mid-West. In his wife’s home-state of Missouri, he learned that Acts of Service was his Love Language and decided to learn how to work with his hands. After framing houses for two years, he found an opportunity to use his developing trade skills to help the young enterprising spirits of Missouri. When he isn’t working at Sherwood Forest, he is running wild with his growing-too-fast feral babies and his all-too-brilliant, star-crossed lover.
